How to make Baked Caesar Chicken
Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 375 degrees F.
Step 2: Use cooking spray to grease the inside of an 8 x 11-inches baking dish.
Step 3: Pound the breasts if they have uneven thickness. Place the chicken breasts in a Ziploc bag and pound with a meat pounder to 3/4-1-inch thickness.
Step 4: Sprinkle the entire chicken breasts with grated Parmesan cheese and freshly ground black pepper. Transfer them to the prepared baking dish.
Step 5: In a small bowl, place the Caesar dressing and sour cream. Whisk to combine. Pour this over the breasts, then sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese on top.
Step 6: In the preheated oven, bake the chicken breasts for about 30 minutes or until the internal temperature of the breast reach 150 degrees F.
Step 7: Set the oven to broil. Broil the chicken for 2 to 4 minutes or until golden brown. Make sure to check on the chicken breasts while doing so as they can burn quickly. You’ll know it is done when a meat thermometer reads 165 degrees F.
Step 8: Take the chicken out of the oven. Using foil, loosely tent the chicken and let them rest for at least 5 to 10 minutes.
Step 9: When ready, garnish with chopped parsley and serve. Enjoy!
